01

FetchSandbox

FetchSandbox

API integration testing that remembers what breaks

Most API tests stop at a simple 200 OK response. FetchSandbox goes further, letting developers and AI agents verify the full sequence: webhooks, retries, state changes, async workflows, and failure scenarios. It reproduces the exact bug, proves the fix, and keeps a memory of what breaks, so your agent can catch issues before they reach production. Connect through MCP to popular tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code, and Codex. You can explore over 60 APIs including Stripe, GitHub, Clerk, Resend, Twilio, Descope, and OpenAI, without consuming real API quota or waiting for a staging environment.

BackEngine MCP

BackEngine MCP

Make private company knowledge usable for AI

BackEngine MCP Preview

Most companies try to force Claude or ChatGPT to work by piping data from Slack, email, and CRMs, but this often results in the model only seeing fragments of the truth. BackEngine MCP changes this by connecting to your tools, reading the data, and organizing it into a single, permissioned record for every account. This ensures that your AI agents always have the full context they need to perform tasks. In practice, this leads to 67 percent fewer errors, 2.4 times more key facts, and 65 percent fewer tokens compared to using standard direct connectors.

03

Website to Markdown API

Website to Markdown API

Turn any website into LLM-ready Markdown

This API takes any URL and converts it into clean, structured Markdown that is ready to feed directly into an LLM. It automatically handles tricky elements like JavaScript rendering, cookie banners, and footers, saving you from doing any manual cleanup. It also includes built-in features to avoid being blocked by anti-bot systems, supports various file formats like PDFs and videos, and even provides a screenshot for every request.

04

Checksum AI

Checksum AI

Your coding agent’s testing buddy

Checksum is an AI-native continuous testing platform that helps engineering teams ship faster without sacrificing quality. It automatically generates, runs, and self-heals end-to-end and API tests on every pull request, using standard Playwright code that lives in your own repository. When a test fails, Checksum identifies whether it's a real bug or a stale test, and fixes the false failures so your suite stays reliable and keeps pace with your coding agents.
